FREDERICK BEAUMONT, JR., OF ARGENTINE-KANSAS.

TOY.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented April 7, 1908.

rapplication tiled January 16, 190.8. Serial No. 411,153. I

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that i, Fianoniiioir BEAUMonT, Jr., a citizen oi the United Stat-es, and a resident of Argentine, in the county of Wyandotte and State of Kansas, have invented a new and improved Toy, of which the following is a iull, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to toys, and more particularly to toys which are intended to be trundled or rolled along the ground.

An object of the invention is to provide a simple, durable and inexpensive toy, which when operated performs certain mechanical movements and thereby causes ornamental or other figures to be actuated in a realistic A further object of the invention is to provide a toy, which when operated causes g- .ures to move'and which can be set or adjusted to alter the relative movements andpositions oi the figures. l l

The invention consists in thel construction and combination of parte, to be more fully described hereinafter and particularly set forth in the claims. f

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views, and in whichl Figure 1 is a pers iective view of the deviceshowing the metho of operating it; l(` ig. 2 is a transverse section on the line 2-2 of Fig. l g and Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing a child operating the toy.

Before proceeding to a more detailed explanation of my invention it should'be clearly understood that the figures or representations which constitute part oi the toy, may

. be of any kind and may be ornamented or otherwise rendered artistic and pleasing in forni in any convenient fashion. Certain of the constructive details which are shown for example, in the accompanying drawings, forni no partof my invention and the underlying principle of the same is embodied `in providing members which are actuated when the toy is rolled along the ground, and which are so connected with the figures that they aotuate the latter. Furthermore, the inembers can be set in a plurality of different positions relative to one another, whereby the relative positions and movements of the tigui'es can be altered.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, l represents a handle having at one end a grip 2 by means of which it can be conveniently grasped by the' operator; At the opposite end, the handle l is bifurcated and in the slot 4 formed by the bifurcation, arranged a wing 3, held in position by or rivets 5.. vNear the end 'of the wing remote from the handle is provided a loose rivet or pin 6 upon which are revolubly arranged disks 7 constitutin wheels. The disks 7 may be of any suita le formy and may be ornamented to represent wheels, or may be otherwise decorated. One of the wheels 7 is arranged at each side of the wing 3 and they are mounted u on the pin Gvso that the latterturns as the w eels are turned. The wheels t snugly upon the pin 6 so that they nor mally maintain their relative positions when the togr is rolled along the ground. However, if desired they can be manually or otherwise adjusted upon the pin to lalter their relative positions.

' Near the middle, the handle has a transy verse bolt 10 upon which are pivotally mounted the ends of swinging arms 9.

Each of the arms 9 carries at theI free extremity a figure or representation, shown forl example, in the accompanying drawings as a mounted rider. Each of the arms 9 1s connected by means of a link 8 'with one of the wheels 7, the latter having link pins 12 for the purpose.

The ends of the links 8 remote from the wheels are laterally dis osed and arranged in o enings provided t erefor in the arms 9j Tilie figures 11 may be mounted in any suitable manner upon the arms,for example, they may have tabs 11a secured in slots of the arms. Y

When the toy isr rolled along the ground the wheels A7 turn and by means ofthe lin rs 8 actuate the arms to move the figures up and down. By adjusting the wheels 7 with respect to each other, the relative positions lCC ndaped to be operated by e. surface, and ilgures, each opeeble by one of said members and comieeted thereto, seid members being adapted ,0 be adjusted rele- ?Lively to enr alnoher, whereby the eletive psiiene anni nieve-ments of .ee-ill igureseen 3. In e device of the class describecha handle, wheels revolubly Aeeiried by seid handle', ermefree t0 swing with respect to seid handle, e link eonneeloing eaeh of seid arms with one of Seid wheels, and 'guree am @einem to relate together and being releaively instable.

e. n e, device of the @lese described, e. handle having e wing, n pin leeeely mounted thereuponrmlheele carried by seid pin et eeeh slide el eaiil handle, seid wheels Ewing tightly npen said pin and being relatively adustable,

e movement aleng; l rieil by said enne, seid wheels being ermngefl 2G swinging arms pivot-ed to said handle, a link connecting each of seid enne and one of seid wheels, and figures meunted upon sind Mms. In testimony wl'ieleof l have signed my name to this speeicetmn 1n che pee/sence of two subsciibmg witnesses.
